A Famous Doctor

Once said that the secret OF good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayers Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many OF his
distinguished successors are doing.
Tho celebrated DR.. Farnsworth, OF
Norwich, Conn.,, recommends Ayers
Pills Is the best Of all remedies for
Intermittent Fevers."
DR.. I. e. Fowler, Of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, says: layers Pills are highly
and universally spoken Of by the people
about here. I make daily use Of them
in my practice"
Dr.. Mayhem, Of New Bedford, Mass.
says: "Having prescribed many thou
sands Of Ayers Pills. in my practice, I
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use."
The Massachusetts State Assayer, DR..
A. A. Hayes, certifies have made
careful analysis Of Ayers Pills. They
contain the active principles OF we'll
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
of great importance to their usefulness.
1t insures activity, certainty, and uni
formity of effect. Ayers Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination"

Prepared by DR.. J. c. Aver & Co., Lowell, Mass.

BUYING THE SENATE.

The Republican money in this State largely
went, under the direction Of Boss PLATT, to
the purchase of Republican Senators in Dem
ocratic districts.
Three districts that gave q handsome plu-
rality for Cook, the Democratic candidate for
Secretary Of State, elected the henchmen Of
PLArr TO the Senate over unexceptionsble
Democratic candidates.
The Republican State ticket was left to
take care of itself, while PLArr looked after
himself and his Quarantine ring by electing
Senators who would keep hold-over officials
in place years after their terms have expired.
No wonder q party that submits to such
leadership is moribund in this State.

THB FIRST REFORM.

Electoral reform must precede all other at
tempts to purify politics and to elevate the
plane of government.
With corrupt elections, registering the
decree of a machine or sealing the bargain Of
q boss, there can be no hope Of either honest
politics or good government.
The Tribune truly says Of the proposed
measure to provide for the printing
and distribution Of ballots by the
State, and for the limitation Of the
use of money in elections, that lit
will do more to purify campaign methods
and prevent bribery than N other agency
existing or prospective"
Let patriotic men of oil parties unite in
occurring the enactment Of such a law.

PAULINE HALLS DIVORCE SUIT.

She Has Begun One and Her Husband In
Likely to Follow Her Example.
Miss Pauline Hall. the successful comic
opera singer, has poured a tale of marital diff
fculties into the sympathetic ears Of lawyers
Howe and Hummel. She has begun an ac-
ton for separation against her husband,
Edmund r. White.
Miss Hall wants to be separated from her
liege lord on the ground that he has aban-
doned her and contributes nothing to her
support. The lady, whose maiden name was
~Schmidgall, first met Mr.. White, in 1878, in
San Francisco. They became very friendly,
and three years later we're married in st.
Louis.
Mr.. White was in England at the time the
separation proceedings were %ripening. He
at once returned to America and has been
living at the Brunswick for the last fortnight.
He has intrusted his case to Lawyer Wilmore
ANYWAY.
From Mr.. ANYWAY it was learned that he had
filed a notice of appearance, but that no com:
plant had yet been served on him. Until
such q writ is served Mr.. Anyway does not
care to state in what way he will meet 1t, but
there is little doubt that o counter suit will
be brought.

DIR. sERR's STRANGE CONDUCT.
He Refuses Medical Assistance % n Man
DYING In Great Agony.

Vos. Gerino, twenty-one years old, took q
dose of poison early this morning, and died
after an hour of intense agony. During
his dying moments he struggled alone,
and in his sufferings he tore his bedclothes
and shirt into fragments. He was an inmate
of Mrs. Guthrie's large clearinghouse, IA
First avenue, and had roomed with August
Ochsner for ten days, the time Of his tenancy
of the apartment.
Last night Ochsner went to q singing So
ciety rehearsal in Schultz's saloon, in First
street, near Second avenue. He returned
crosswise on the bed and in great agony.
Send for a doctor at once; there is no
time to be lost" said Gerino.
Ochsner returned to Schultz's saloon and
on his recommendation Dr.. Ssrr, Of "A Sec
reached the room of the dying man he looked
at him and then coolly. and rather inditfer-
emily asked What about my pay? Who
is to settle with me ?"
AS neither Of the men had any money DR..
Serr left the place, leaving Gerino to die in
untold agony without administering to his
relief. Mrs. Guthrie then hastened to the
Fifth street police station, from which an
ambulance call was sounded. Before the
ambulance arrived at the house death, more
mercifui than DR.. Serr, had ended Gerino's
sufferings.
DR.. SER was seen this morning by q WORLD
reporter. He was asked If he knew that the
man was dying when he called at the house.
Certainly I did" was the cool response,
but why should I take the responsibility
of such a case? II the name of a friend had
not been used I would not have made the
CALL"
do you think it is the province of q merci-
full doctor to refuse medical attendance to a
| dying man ?" was asked.
why should I interfere ?" was the totally
Indifferent response. IF a man wants to
kill himself what can I do about itp Am
sure l don't care"
The Guthrie boarding house is an immense
affair, and between one hundred and fifty and
two hundred people lodge and eat there.
There nave been several suicides within its
walls. Gerino was q stranger, was unem-
ployed and had been q recipient Of charity
from the Pitts Street Roman Catholic Church
members. His antecedents are not known
to his landlady or his fellow boarders, all OF
whom expressed regret that 30 young and In
telligent o mar should die from poison and
be cruelty refused aid from q doctor who had
been called.

WHAT q ARE FOE,

Judge TuLEY, of Chicago, was greatly
~astonished to learn from evidence given be-
fore him that the Chicago Gas Trust under
took to raise $40, 600, 900 from bonds upon a
plant worth 81, 200 900, and to divide the pro-
ceeds among the stockholders.
There is nothing strange about this. What
does Judge TuLEY suppose Trusts are for
. They double up the volume of the stock of
combining corporations, divide the inflated
securities among the members Of the ring,
and then by arbitrarily fixing the price of the
article they control make the public pay
dividends on the fictitious total.
If the people do not throttle the Trusts
they may rely upon it that the Trusts will
rob them.

THE SURPLUS MUST CO..

Secretary FA1RcHrLp, it is hardly necessary
to say, will give no heed to the c~owardly
counsel of false az visers to moderate or
abandon his earnest recommendation that the
surplus be stopped byra reduction of taxes.
1t is stated that the Secretary will urge
upon Congress the necessity of Immediate
notion =" for the relief ofrthe Treasury and the
people.
Bond purchases at a high premium were
justifable only as o last expedientAto prevent
a financial panic. The only other alternative
is to spend the surplus in reckless appropria-
tions.
In urging immediate tax reduction, secre-
tary FAmoHILp will be in harmony with the
Democratic platform In his own State,
and with the sentiment Of the people every
where.

A TO HIS DEATH.
Thomas Sheridan Ends His Life While I'm the
rawlings of Delirium.

Thomas Sheridan Ends His Life While I'm the
rawlings of Delirium.
Thomas Sheridan, q laborer, twenty-seven
years of age, made a crazy leap to death at 8
O'Clock this morning. while suffering from
delirium tremens. He had been drinking
heavily Of late, and all of yesterday he suf-
fered from an attack of the horrors. He saw
snakes and blue devils, and imagined that he
was being pursued by these venomous crea-
lures. He was put to bed at night, when he
fell of into q stupor produced by anodynes.
At 8 c o'clock the anesthetics ceased their
soothing quality and Sheridan tossed rest
lessly on his bed and in a fit of psroxysm
jumped to the floor of his house, 1877 East
Eleventh street, gazed wildly at the jeering
objects that his disordered brain conjured,
and rushed to the window. He tore up the
sash and before assistance could reach him,
he sprang from the fourth story window and
went flying head first through the air. In a
few seconds he struck the pavement with o
dull sound, quivered in every muscle of his
body and hen lay quiet. Ahoypital alarm
was sounded, but when the ambulance ar
rived, the surgeon pronounced the man to
be dead. His skull was crushed in, the
bones of his body were broken and shattered
and he had internal injuries any one of which
was mortal.

RooHEsTER,s TELEPHONE Plight.

The citizens of Rochester have set q good
example to the country in their pluoky and
persistent fight against the extortion Of the
Bell Telephone monopoly. For the first
time that grasping corporation is likely to be
forced to terms.
The telephone monopolists are despotio
beyond all precedent in q field to which
their exclusive title is by no means clearly
demonstrated. The voluminous records Of
the Patent Office contain few patents as ex-
~traordinary in the breadth Of application az
their own. Aside from the charges of fraud
in its procurement, IL is undoubtedly true
that only the power of aggregated capital,
employing an army of the most astute law
yers, has served to maintain its claims.
Under these circumstances II would be-
come the Bell people to at least deal literally
with the public. Greed is very apt to over
reach itself,

A GALL FOR FAIR PLAY,

The Royal Clyde Yacht Club very properly
alleges that the conditions Of the revised
deed of gift for the America Cup are unjust
and unsportsmanlike."
THE WORLD pointed out this fact when the
new deed was adopted, and 1t expressed the
almost unanimous sentiment Of the sports
men of America.
As victors we can afford to be generous.
We cannot afford to be mean. We want no
hedge Of partiality about that cup.
OF with those % unjust and unsportsman-
like" conditions. The speed Of our sloops,
and not stringent " regulations" is the best
defense of the trophy.

It is said that the days of Irving Hall as
q political organization are numbered. Irving
Hall has suffered two successive defeats, its
delegates have been refused admission to the
Democratic State Convention and the leaders
have nc patronage and no prospect of getting
any. The annual rent of Irving Hall is
$1,000 and the lease says that the organiza-
ton is entitled to meet there nee q month
in General Committee, and twice a month
for six months in the year in Executive Com
mittee and to the privilege of holding q mass
meeting q week previous to an election.
There are no funds in the treasury M only
a few of the members have good bank
accounts.
If the Irving Hall organization should die
q natural death the Seymour Club, its social
organization. will keep up an existence at
the corner of Fourteenth street and Union
Square. Still. there are members of Irving
Hall who are not discouraged and who wish
to continue their Democracy under their old
banner.
A meeting Of the leaders will soon be held
to decide whether Irving Hall Is to be repre-
scented in the great battle of 1888. Aqueduct
